[Verse 1]
AThese strings mean more to me than you'll ever know
ABetween the busted hearts and playing games
AYea you played me while I played these strings
ABut this box guitar will always stay the sameC  A  
ABecause only one man's fingers has slid across this neck
ABut I guess the same doesn't go for you
Aso I'll guess I'll strike up another tune baby baby baby who played you best
[Chorus]
ASo while I slap another chordD  
EBend anotD#her stringD  
ALet these fingers play some catch up with my heart as they run GawayA  
ALike you
